Coconut Squares

This should come out like a white brownie, but cold. Great summer snack. Get creative with anything you want to throw on top, fruit, candies, nuts, whatever you like! This is a great beginner recipe that doesn’t need any work at all.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons cornstarch

1⁄2 cup water

1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, unsweetened

1⁄4 cup granulated sugar

1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract

optional toppings: toasted coconut, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or pineapple tidbits

Instructions

Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper.

Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Whisk until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk constantly until it just starts to simmer.

Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Continue to whisk until the pudding is thick, about 10-15 minutes. It’s ready when the mixture starts to pull away from the sides of the pan.

Pour the thickened mix into the lined pan. Use an offset spatula to smooth the top. If desired, top with toasted coconut, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or pineapple (drained and patted dry).

Let the it cool at room temperature for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours until completely set.

Once it’s set, cut them into 2-inch squares. Serve chilled, and enjoy!

The record scratches. Their dance freezes. "B-beg your pardon?" Blink and you'd miss it. His hands shoot from DK's hips to his neck, which he wrung out violently in the midst of a high-pitched shout. "WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY COCONUT!?!?"

He's just about to get his own spin in, but the other stops so suddenly he ends up crashing and bumping his face hard against the golden armor pad.

"Ouww!" Complaint issued, he blinks both pink irises up at his dance partner and-...SUDDENLY SUFFOCATES!

"KAHKAAA-GRRGLA;KD!!!" He chokes, reaching up to squeeze the wrist of the assaulting arm as he kicks the air a little once lifted just enough where he can't feel the ground anymore.

There's no real explanation he can issue at this point, so he just reaches out and taps the other's arm a few times like a surrender to ...provide more info.

Oat Milk vs. Coconut Milk: Which One Fits Your Diet Best?

👉 Oat Milk vs. Coconut Milk

In the ever-expanding world of plant-based milk alternatives, oat milk and coconut milk have emerged as two popular choices. Both offer unique nutritional benefits, flavors, and uses, making them suitable for different dietary preferences and health goals. Whether you're looking for a creamy addition to your morning coffee or a nutrient-rich milk substitute, understanding the differences between oat milk and coconut milk can help you make an informed choice.

Nutritional Profile

Oat Milk Oat milk is made by blending oats with water and then straining the mixture to remove the solid particles. Many commercial brands fortify oat milk with vitamins and minerals, making it a nutrient-dense choice.

Calories: Around 120-150 calories per cup (varies by brand and formulation).

Carbohydrates: High in carbs, typically 16-25 grams per cup.

Protein: Contains about 2-4 grams per serving.

Fats: Low in fat, usually around 2-5 grams per serving.

Fiber: Oat milk is rich in beta-glucan, a soluble fiber that supports heart health and digestion.

Fortification: Often enriched with calcium, vitamin D, and B vitamins.

Coconut Milk Coconut milk comes in two primary forms: the thick, creamy version used in cooking and the lighter, more diluted version used as a dairy milk alternative.

Calories: 45-70 calories per cup (for the beverage version, not the canned one).

Carbohydrates: Low in carbs, typically 2-3 grams per serving.

Protein: Contains about 0-1 grams per serving.

Fats: High in fat, usually around 4-5 grams per serving (contains medium-chain triglycerides or MCTs, which can provide quick energy).

Fiber: Minimal fiber content.

Fortification: Some brands fortify coconut milk with calcium and vitamin D.

Health Benefits

Oat Milk Benefits:

Heart Health: Oat milk is rich in beta-glucan, a type of fiber that helps lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.

Digestive Support: The fiber content supports gut health and digestion.

Energy Boost: Since it is higher in carbohydrates, oat milk provides a steady source of energy, making it ideal for active individuals.

Lactose-Free & Nut-Free: A great choice for those with lactose intolerance or nut allergies.

Coconut Milk Benefits:

Keto & Low-Carb Friendly: Due to its low carbohydrate content, coconut milk is ideal for those on a keto or low-carb diet.

Healthy Fats: Rich in MCTs, which may support weight management and brain health.

Dairy-Free & Vegan: A good alternative for people with dairy allergies or those following a vegan diet.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Coconut contains antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation.

Taste and Texture

Oat milk has a naturally sweet, creamy texture that makes it an excellent choice for coffee, cereals, and smoothies. It blends well in baked goods and provides a slightly thicker consistency compared to other plant-based milks.

Coconut milk, on the other hand, has a distinct tropical flavor and a thinner consistency (when in beverage form). The thicker canned version is rich and creamy, making it ideal for soups, curries, and desserts. However, its coconut taste may not pair well with all beverages and dishes.

Best Uses

Oat Milk Works Best For:

Coffee and tea (it froths well for lattes)

Smoothies and protein shakes

Cereal and oatmeal

Baking and desserts

Cooking creamy soups and sauces

Coconut Milk Works Best For:

Curries and Asian dishes

Dairy-free ice creams and desserts

Smoothies for a tropical flavor

Keto and low-carb baking

Vegan whipped cream and dairy-free sauces

Potential Downsides

Oat Milk Drawbacks:

Higher in carbohydrates and sugar (if not unsweetened).

May not be suitable for people with gluten sensitivity unless labeled gluten-free.

Some brands contain added oils and preservatives.

Coconut Milk Drawbacks:

Higher in saturated fat, which may not be ideal for those with heart disease concerns.

Low in protein and fiber.

Distinct coconut flavor may not be appealing to everyone.

Which One Fits Your Diet Best?

Your choice between oat milk and coconut milk depends on your dietary goals and health needs:

If you need a higher-fiber, heart-healthy, and energy-boosting milk, oat milk is a great option.

If you’re following a low-carb or keto diet and prefer healthy fats, coconut milk is a better fit.

If you are lactose-intolerant, vegan, or allergic to nuts, both oat and coconut milk are excellent dairy-free alternatives.

If you enjoy a naturally sweet, creamy texture, oat milk might be more appealing.

If you like a light, tropical taste, coconut milk is ideal.

Final Verdict

Both oat milk and coconut milk have their own advantages, and the best choice depends on your specific dietary needs and taste preferences. Oat milk is a fantastic everyday choice for those looking for a creamy, nutrient-rich alternative, while coconut milk is perfect for those seeking a lower-carb, high-fat option. Whichever you choose, make sure to read labels and opt for unsweetened, fortified versions to maximize health benefits.

By understanding the unique properties of each, you can confidently pick the best plant-based milk for your diet and lifestyle!

"We just had a big celebration but it's already time for another one! Can you believe it?!" *kaito laughs as he easily picks up yuta and carries him to the kitchen, yuma having a sheepish smile on his face as he holds a cup that he hasn't taken a single sip out of*

"There! Now that the two of you are together we can finally start celebrating World Coconut Day, haha~!!" *with that, kaito sets yuta down and quickly makes his way to the fridge, more than happy to serve both yuta and himself a cup of coconut milk too~!!*

"..Ah? Another one? What'ss the occa-bwah!?" Just as he was about to ask, Yuta lets out a surprised yelp when he's suddenly picked up!! "H-Hey wait a minute, Kaito!!" Seeing Yuma in the kitchen, he does give a small wave, though wonders why he has that look on his face..

Then, he hears what today is- "................" And is instantly frowning... "...Why did I not guess you were going to say that. No wonder Yuma's making that face..." He sighs, hanging his head low. Why did such a holiday have to exist, he wonders...!!!

Sitting down next to Yuma, he pats his shoulder, and stares down at the coconut milk he is also served!! "Guuuuuh...." Much as he doesn't want to drink that, either... he knows Kaito won't let him get away with it, so with a look of grimace, he takrs a sip. "Th-Thanks...come on, Yuma, let's just endure it and finish our drinks."

Then leans in real closer to whisper: "We'll get him back later for this, don't you worry..."
